Physicists are split over the new fusion theories.

The manufacturer of high speed marking/pricing machine that printed on an angle and illegibly is being sued for labels and slanter.

There are serious deficiencies in the air controllers’ computer systems and there are shortages of air traffic controllers. Politicians create earmarks when they should be creating airmarks. I predict there will be a major disaster in the near future that will lead to this topic becoming a blip on their radar. It will suddenly become an emergency and funds will be granted. The problem is that both of these items require considerable time for correction once the funds are approved. Increasing the number of controllers takes 3-4 years; the implementation of a major computer system (once the maker and software are approved) may be 2-3 years, or more.

The EEOC has confirmed that purveyors of animal non meat items are suing for equal tripes.

McDonald’s plans to open a new high speed drive through at the Indianapolis and other Speedways for the drivers. Drivers will have to order 2 laps ahead and maintain their positions so their meal is not launched into the wrong car. Fast food is taking on a whole new meaning! (White Castle was not allowed to bid. Their “sliders” were considered too much of a possible dis-traction.) They did say the rest room design would follow at a later date.

Isn’t it interesting that major problems result in a lot of face time on TV for various politicians followed by a lot of calendar space with nothing happening? Is that the meaning of the space program?

Energy Conservation (this is a new category where newsworthy items or actions are occurring that may impact energy or greening): The Bureau of Standards has been asked to revise the boiling point temperature downward to help conserve energy.

An abbreviated version of a long and detailed study of the United States’ “Manifest Destiny”-ship to address.

Clemency was granted to the speaker who delayed the seminar on Mark Twain’s works because of bad weather.
Fortunately, she had saved her computer notes in the Twain format.

Entomologists have discovered a brown recluse spider that is more outgoing.

I may have to start charging. All this writing has resulted in heavy ink and whiteout use by my monitor, and batteries for my miner’s cap.
